According to its WHOIS record, ALTAIRGB.COM was created on August 8, 2009 and expires on August 8, 2022. That is around 17 years of continuous registration. It is registered through Network Solutions, LLC (IANA ID 2) and is past its expiry date. Status flags block unauthorised transfer. The registrant country on record is Colombia. DNS is served by ns5.worldnic.com and ns6.worldnic.com. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Nameservers decide where a domain's DNS is hosted, so a change of nameservers usually means the website or email moved to a new provider.
In the period from July 23, 2018 to September 8, 2021, 31 fields of the record were modified. Only the spelling of the registrar name changed ("Network Solutions LLC" to "Network Solutions, LLC"); it is the same registrar. It was renewed: the expiry date went from August 8, 2019 to August 8, 2022. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.
For ALTAIRGB.COM, Whois Data Center keeps 8 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from September 8, 2021. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected.
